Day 3: Brisbane River

This morning we got all gung-ho about the beautiful summer-y weather and decided to take a walk along the river at Kangaroo Point. It was really lovely, and it made me think that we should make it a regular activity. Elliott seems to enjoy being outside, and the fresh air certainly did me a world of good.

Today was a fun day. Elliott was content, which is really the number one determining factor in whether or not the day goes well.

I'm amazed by the changes that I've seen in him other the past few weeks. His personality is emerging more and more by the day. I'm beginning to imagine him as a boy, not just a baby. Which I have mixed feelings about. I'm excited to see him grow and develop, but I miss all of the little baby stages that he's growing out of.

One thing that I won't miss is his puking. Oh boy. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I'm hopeful that he'll outgrow it soon. But, realistically, he's shown no sign of improvement at all so far. So our Doctor has warned us that he might be like this until he's a year old, or longer.

Dr Tanya has organized an abdo ultrasound this Thursday, to rule out any structural abnormalities that could be contributing. But my gut-feeling is that his scan will be normal. It's hard to know what to do. I don't want to inflict invasive tests upon my little baby, but at the same time, I would be devastated if I found out later that it wasn't just reflux. If I found out there was something else that I could have been doing to make him more comfortable...

Anyway, I'll stop now before I get too emo. Besides, it's after 10pm! Omg bedtime!
